There are four types of pneumothorax. The types are: traumatic pneumothorax, tension pneumothorax, primary spontaneous pneumothorax, and secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
tracheal deviation
Yes, an open pneumothorax has the potential to evolve into a tension pneumothorax if air continues to enter the pleural space but has no means of escaping, leading to increasing pressure in the chest cavity and subsequent compression of the lungs and heart. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent this progression.
Tension pneumothorax
Tension pneumothorax is a diagnosis, not an intervention. Nurse practice acts define the scope of practice in terms of interventions, not in terms of medical problems. Consider what interventions you're asking about.
The root word is -tension meaning pressure.
Tension pneumothorax which is where the lung cavity fills with air and crushes the remaining good lung.
The prefix of hypertension is "hyper-," which comes from Greek and means "over" or "excessive." In the context of hypertension, it indicates an abnormally high level of blood pressure in the arteries. The term "tension" refers to the pressure itself, so "hypertension" literally means excessive pressure.
Hypertension is a stress induced disorder. Stress often comes from tension, and hyper just means lots of or super crazy. So you've got lots of super crazy stress, and that gives you hypertension.
Most people recover fully from spontaneous pneumothorax
As far as I know there are many causes of hypertension (high blood pressure); but as far as types of hyper tension--I believe there are only chronic (long term pathological) and acute (sudden onset, or unusual presentation of).
Hyper means above and tension means pressure so, hypertension means above pressure
